This recipe is one of the best I've tried in a long time. It is heaven in your mouth! I sprinkled a little mozzarella on top of the pasta mixture before adding chicken... very nice touch! I highly recommend everyone try this recipe!

This was good, but lacked a lot of flavor. Adding salt helped. I added mushrooms as well. If I were to make it again, I would almost double the cooking creme as I didn't think it was enough. This recipe makes A LOT so it was nice to have left-over for my husband throughout the week.

This one is definitely a keeper for my family. We love fresh mushrooms so I did add those and I cut up the chicken in bite size pieces. I had never tried orzo pasta before and we thought this was delicious.

I made this for my mom and my husband and they loved it. This is one of my favorite dishes now. Absolutely delicious.

I made this yesterday. It was alright. I would recommend to add salt and pepper afterwards its done. My husband liked it but I didn't.

This was a very good dish. The only thing I would do different the next time, is cut my chicken up instead of using the breast whole.

I swapped out chicken tenders for the breasts, added sliced mushrooms, and used the lemon and herb creme. Yummy, easy, kid-friendly!

This was amazing...my daughter's new favorite! I cut the chicken into bite-sized chunks instead of leaving them whole and put them into the sauce with the vegetables. The chicken was more flavorful simmering in the sauce. Will make this over and over.

All I can say is WOW! My husband and I looked at this recipe in a recent email from Kraft. It looked delicious and simple, which it was. I caramelized the squash, so mine did not look as pretty as the picture posted but it sure was good. I would make it again. I don't think it needs the chicken and would taste good with just squash or squash and onions and or mushrooms.

I was pleasantly surprised by this recipe. I was just looking for something different than the usual canned tomato dish. I had some leftover Philly Cooking Creme, so, I halved the recipe for myself and my 2 and 4 yr olds, and believe it or not everybody liked it!
